Allah does not call you to account for what is vain in your oaths, but He calls you to account for the making of deliberate oaths; so its expiation is the feeding of ten poor men out of the middling (food) you feed your families with, or their clothing, or the freeing of a neck; but whosoever cannot find (means) then fasting for three days; this is the expiation of your oaths when you swear; and guard your oaths.
(Yang demikian itu) yang telah disebutkan (adalah kafarat sumpah-sumpahmu bila kamu bersumpah) kemudian kamu langgar. (Dan jagalah sumpahmu) jangan sampai kamu melanggarnya selagi sumpah itu bukanlah perbuatan kebaikan atau mendamaikan orang-orang sebagaimana yang telah disebutkan dalam surah Al-Baqarah.
